I have installed nix but it's totally unclear to me how to reproduce this. At the moment I have, {{{ $ cd ~/ghc/ghc $ nix-shell -Ahaskell.packages.ghcHEAD.ghc '<nixpkgs>' error: Package ‘VisualBoyAdvance-1.7.2’ in ‘/nix/store /p1jp78n8mmk5sj9wpz5hf5jk8x8zqcdy- nixpkgs-16.03pre71923.3087ef3/nixpkgs/pkgs/misc/emulators/VisualBoyAdvance/default.nix:18’ is marked as broken, refusing to evaluate. For `nixos-rebuild` you can set { nixpkgs.config.allowBroken = true; } in configuration.nix to override this. For `nix-env` you can add { allowBroken = true; } to ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix. }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11147#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
